Its not that the old animation was bad, its just that the new animations have become so incredibly good

[@Greyteam4291]

Well said

[@charlescapps986]

Bravo make a speech that was good

[@finnen85]

So true

[@abriannaaguilera2123]

Honestly, I feel like I didn't even notice the missing hoses of the masks.

This is a compilation of our favourite cold war stories. We'll be online for the premier on the chat so please ask us anything !

[@Busman12345]

I love your channel and you’ve stopped up the animations a ton and the war to end all wars is close!

[@frankw8772]

@Yarnhub … brilliant video, i hope you do a video about the Vulcan Bomer, where it scared every one at a air show / testing - when it flew and did a barrel roll.

[@angelinechesse6600]

Yarnhub can you please make a video about the french soldier Maxime blasco

[@flamingaircraft]

Can you do a 1965 Pakistani ace pilot story? M.M Alam. Plz

[@spookyzayo]

pls make a story about Dimitar Spisarevski

[@Of_Your_Volition]

Cold War dogfights are really cool. Their like some weird hybrid of WW2 and modern fights where it’s not quite BVR but it’s quite different from dogfights with guns. In my opinion that’s what makes them so cool.

[@thelittletanket689]

Personally I like ww2 dogfights much more then morden or cold war

[@TheGruntGuy321]

@@thelittletanket689 True, modern dogfights aren't special. Just fire a missile and boom! No more enemy. Meanwhile WWII dogfights, you have to carefully aim and stuff.

[@Of_Your_Volition]

@@TheGruntGuy321 , @thelittletanket689 Though I do respect your opinions I would say modern dogfights are a little more than missile go boom. When at BVR (Beyond Visual Range) you have the capabilities to defend against missiles by either cranking or dragging the missile to a lower altitude to bleed its energy. If you are to close to defend you can use counter measures such as chaff and flare with sharp maneuvers. If you enter dogfighting range with a bandit you can hug them and min range missiles like sidewinders. From there you can force a two or one circle fight while managing speed and closer to work your way to the rear of a bandit and get the kill. If you would like a video version of this explanation watch Growling Sidewinder he does dcs videos and explains dogfights really well with all types of aircraft especially modern. hope this allows you to love all dogfights as though modern are different they are still very cool.

0:08 my dad lived in the Soviet Union and he says that the Soviet bread lines where never long, but the lines for meat, butter, and cheese were.

I swear the F-14 one seems like soothing that would happen in top gun.

[@AlGehring-gw7pw]

Sorry I ment something not soothing

[@Big-vr3hz]

@@AlGehring-gw7pwthat story is what inspired the writers for the scene in Top Gun where maverick flips off the Mig and goose takes a Polaroid

Person: “Bro these early videos are so bland” Yarnhub: “we don’t agree” And that’s how yarnhub won the YT war

[@ilovepenguins6765]

The new animations are so good, but the ones from years past just carry a certain nostalgia to them that never gets old

[@TheGruntGuy321]

You know it’s gonna be real good when they premiere their videos

[@tanyionjuexavierrmps1236]

Yes sir

[@bubu20202]

[@AppleHistoryGuy]

I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.

[@spacenoob10]

I’d love to see that, sounds crazy!

[@AppleHistoryGuy]

@@spacenoob10 Thanks, it’s great to see someone else interested.

[@Y36Productions]

yes b'y go on

My father rebuilt F4s in the USMC, in the Vietnam war. I remember him telling me about the phantom push when I was a kid.

[@poppashots994]

Who ever doesn't like these videos can kick rocks... Keep em coming.

[@johnlemon9021]

Hey Yarnhub, there's another jet vs prop story in the Korean War, when a Mig 15 was downed by a Hawker Sea Fury, the only British air victory in the war. I'd love to see your take on that story, but until then keep the good content flowing Cheers!!

[@freetheinsanity5257]

There was also a sky raider that took down a mig 15 while they were on a mission to save a downed f-4 pilot

[@gao9086]

Lets all pay are respects for the u-2 one. The su-9 pilot who was supposed to kazicami And the u-2 pilot literally sacrificing himself for the children🥲

[@christopherchartier3017]

Not to mention the friendly fire accident that also happened due to the Soviets fumbling. Respect to him too

[@Spiritofaconure]

I love your channel , I’m an adult, have studied war and historical moments during warfare, I have watched all the history shows about air battles, tanks , ground battles, this that and the third, I love it all, I had family who fought for the USA in ww2 and some were Mia for awhile until it was found out they were pows in a German war camp, luckily it was towards the end of the war and he came home, but your animation is better than most of the history channel shows, congratulations because I can tell you have taken much time and love making these vids

[@XboxFox869]

Tell Your family who fought in the war Thank you for your service.

[@chargree]

Very cool. I like how there are stories involving wins by both sides. I obviously prefer when WE(USA) wins, but that’s not always realistic. Many brave Americans lost dogfights, while some of them even lost their lives. Honor to them as well.

and us brits too!

[@chargree]

@@spooderboy You are damn right they did, my friend. I love me some England. Y’all have been there with us the whole time in war, peace, the arts, economics, etc etc etc. By the way, I like the accent(I am from Alabama so my accent kinda gives people the exact opposite of the impression that your accent gives to the speaker). I want to thank y’all for getting off of our asses after the conclusion of the War of 1812, though y’all still went rogue occasionally on that forced conscription into your Navy of virtually anyone you could run down with your vessels. I think y’all more than made up for it by providing us with Monty Python, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and by sharing your discovery(?)/development of radar with us. On a serious note, many brave British men and women have sacrificed their lives to support our individual and collective efforts to be strong, successful, free, and a response and a hedge to forces that would deprive us of those ends. Honor to them as well sir.

[@aliwooz913]

props to ALL that fought in the wars. the balls on these guys, especially knowing that most missions they were going on were suicide missions "make it count" I salute anyone who has served. thank you

[@ritonsj8424]

The "take his breath away" joke was hilarious. I was laughing after being long into a very serious but entertaining video.

[@redlinemando]

I always stick around till the the end of a Yarnhub video!!!!!!! Thank you for all you do to honor the brave men & women who have served, fought & died for their homelands!!!!!!!

[@anthonyg6221]

Tensions w/ Libya peaked in 1985 when Doc stole all of their plutonium for the Delorean.

[@abriannaaguilera2123]

The second and last foreign enemy incursion on mainland America.

[@weewoo6622]

This is pretty cool because i was just out and saw both a MiG-15 and an F-86

[@ericgaudet5488]

Very cool seeing my favorite Fight Jet in the second Story The F14 Tomcat.

[@Fresh_Mayo_Productions]

If you make a shows on either KZbin TV or discovery plus, I would definitely watch it. You could just upload regular videos, and maybe even make some TV specials.

[@cambellschunky704]

@55:10 "...highway to the danger zone." Love ya, Yarnhub. Mean it.

[@ricardocorbie6803]

Great combination of historical stories! Throughly enjoyed!!💜💜

[@BrianPeloso-ln4ry]

I appreciate the perspectives that you are great at illuminating that I haven't fully explored on my own...Great stuff...

[@CW-rh4jz]

These videos are just amazing, to be in the shoes of those brave men, to see the battles from both sides. You truly honour them.

[@DEATHRANER]

Just to add about the u2 incident the Russians accidentally fired about 32 to 40 missles before the u2 was actually hit

[@unclepauly3205]

this channel is insanely inaccurate to history

[@edutaimentcartoys]

this video is the perfect combination of digital art and aircraft history

[@joshbates241]

I think the slightly jancky animation is endearing, and honestly yall make up for it with your cinematography. Had the feeling of triple A ps2 games and im all for that. You don't need photorealist cgi to tell a story. Ya'll keep grinding im here for it.

[@Veronika7777]

Stayed through until the end. George A. Davis had the best and coolest story, in my opinion. Thanks for this video, it was very entertaining! 💜

[@SardonianSmile]

By war's end, the U.S. Air Force had lost a total of 528 F-4 and RF-4C Phantoms. When combined with U.S. Navy and Marine Corps losses of 233 Phantoms, 761 F-4/RF-4 Phantoms were lost in the Vietnam War

[@killahurtz6786]

"Some people say that our animations..." Dude your animations combined with your storytelling is fantastic. You take factual accuracy seriously and always present all combatants with dignity and respect. My gf isnt in to war stuff at all, but I had her watch the one with the Samurai pilot and she really really liked it, said it was a beautiful story. Anyway, the people who dont like your stuff, I got a word to describe them; Bandits!

[@danielgradyfaires8112]

Hello I am a fan of your videos and think they are great I stay till the end every time

WONDERFUL series... haha, the Soviet officer talks into his comb

[@harlech2]

Love how the oxygen hoses kept appearing then disappearing from the jet pilots. Too funny!

[@andreperrault5393]

I knew about Powers and the U-2 shoot down, but did not know the details from the Soviet side. Also, the Marine Corsair, I knew of it as markings on a plastic model, but not the story of its pilot. Great, thanks

[@t.j.payeur5331]

I believe that I've been here since just about day 1. Your skill as a story teller, a raconteur, is what makes your videos great. And your growing skills as an artist has been wonderful to observe. The wry inclusion of various nods to pop culture are always a treat, too. I love your landscapes. And you have a poetic style. Those white lilies blooming around the somber wreck of the aircraft was pure f*cking poetry, man. Of them all, that one got me the most...Bond and Goldfinger playing golf is a close second...

[@belowaveragecodgamer2825]

55:10 don't think many realized this joke gotta love it ❤

[@henrikschultze1668]

Story 3. MiGs shooting rate - in addition to Sabre kills, they got all collection of USAF and USN types, like F-84s, Panthers, B-29 etc.

[@ljmods7344]

Loved it, having a story to listen to aswell as have visuals is great

[@RobloxianPilot457]

Nice! Loved all of these!

[@sergeyvekhov1432]

Story 2. Sukhoi-22 is an export version of ground attack plane Sukhoi-17. It never been designed for air combat, they do had AAmissiles but only for protection, because they don’t have AA radar. So navy guys didn’t had much risk shooting them down.

[@born2fly1948]

Thank you for your work.

[@user-kr8ew9oh8e]

At @05:00 The Phantom pushing the damaged Phantom makes me think about the F-86E of Capt.Robbie Risner pushing the damaged F-86E out of North Korean Airspace. They all made the incredible flights.
